Wow, daily arena style ... what a let down. More pointless PvP, no goals, no objectives, just mindless zerg. Sad really. I can only hope they change that.
Sorry, no venomous popori allowed.

Heh what really ruins what could be a competitive PvP game is the fact that there is no competitive PvP.
This is ruining what could be a competitive pvp game IMO

That post about someone trying to get rid of it through money was probably the most fail I have ever seen on these forums. Sorry, but it's true. It's one of those posts that people later regret and wished they would have never let the whole world know about.
I pretty much only like the lancer, slayer and priest designs myself. The archer design is probably the worst to me.

Have to agree Zwild, while I don't think their range needs to be better than any other ranged class, the fact that they are reliant upon being closer to the target to do more damage is somewhat confusing to me. I know it works, not saying it doesn't, but not much of a ranged class to me and definitely not much of an archer.

Rav .. the big snake you run along and attack the side of? Not all that impressive. Sorry but it looks like they are attacking a scale at a time on it.
Jhen, a big 'dragon' that you spend most of your time standing on top off beating the crap out of one of it's scales. Another not so exciting fight (and oh yes, having to swim back to ship to get back on it's back when you fall off).
Mamluck on 06/04/2012, 02:11 PMAlthough theoretically it sounds great, in actuality, it comes out just as people have said, a group gathered around swinging in the vague direction of the creatures feat or tail.
I personally think the fact that everything at later levels has to be 10 feet plus tall is getting a bit worn out. It detracts from the BAM's when every non-minion mob you fight is towering over you. Even the devas are giants for some reason. I am wondering why the castanics shrunk so much when they seperated from their cousins.
Look up Raviente or Jhen Mohran from Monster Hunter and how they're fought.

The lack of any organized group PvP content, even worse than SWTOR sad to say, leaves you with little to do besides grind. Money and gear. Money and gear.
Yes I mean the ongoing sadness of the enchanting system. The ever so satisfying "Fail' message and realizing that all the grinding you just did .. has to be redone LOL. Rewards people for tedious grinding and prepares you for more .. tedious grinding as your gear gets slightly better.
Uh oh, Terra K-game fanbois attack! Love how they mistake grinding for difficulty, but on the other hand, it is a Korean game. They love to grind over there.

It's not necessarily that the 1650 with the glyph is unsustainable, it is the fact that the rank 1 or 2 of the ability gives back more mana for hp than the rank 6 of the ability is what he is saying. If you fully train it, you basically gimp yourself.
Rhynox78 on 06/01/2012, 08:53 AMI was thinking that as well, but I tried playing other classes, got most of em to the mid 20's and just didnt like them.
Even if I did wait for the next patch, those who did not level unchained anger to rank 6 might not have a huge advantage but it is still a pretty significant advantage. Spamming a rank 2 unchained anger for 800 health, or 400 with the glyph and the glyph for flurry of blows its still better than 3300 health or 1650 with the glyph.
Just to give you some perspective, 1650 Health is less than 3% of your total health at level 60. Assuming your healer is... Alive, you should be able to handle that without even needing to resort your Vampiric Attack thing.
@ I agree with the noob zone being tedious. I'm glad I finally have all the classes over level 20, because that is when this game really starts, I feel.

Umm if you are talking about the 'quaint' aversion to the sexual representation of CHILDREN, I for one am glad America still recognizes that as taboo. Video game violence and sexuality are only taboo when applied to children. Not to mention this game is in no way graphic. The blood from no visible wound then the falling down and dissolving .. not what I would even call a mature rating. The aversion to the Elin was also fueled by people raising an outcry over the graphical changes applied to Elin in the NA release. Gave the vocal 'fans' of the race protesting the change a "Pedophiles R Us who wanna see little girls underwear all day" sorta feel to many. A stamp all those who chose to create them afterward must live with, whether they agree to the graphic changes or not.
And FYI, in the old days 12/13 was adult for a woman. They were never allowed to truly own property or handle their own finances anyways in the vast majority of cases. In many parts of the world they still aren't. The job duties don't matter, it's when society recognizes you as old enough to assume your mature responsiblities, no matter how much or how little they are.
And as for "The lore says they aren't kids" .. umm... ok... no matter how you look at it, their character models are based off of children. Sorry.
Korilynn on 06/03/2012, 06:11 AMMadJerry on 06/02/2012, 09:40 PMI dont get all the outrage on the elin issue. So what they look like kids, get over it. They are drawings. I would have thought that after 300+ years the puritanism of the first settlers would have disappeared but I guess not.
This is a game about killing innumerable individuals, over and over again, and everyone's biggest worry is that some of the toons look like children. In my mind if you are objecting to that then you should also be objecting to the wanton killing that is the heart of this game...
What does 300+ years of the puritanism of the first settlers have to do with anything? You really need to go back and check your history, when 12/13 was considered adult.
Well last I checked the puritans moved to what is now new england in the early 1600s. So that was 300+ years ago. Its relevance however, has to do with the fact that even though their beliefs seem to be extinct, americans still seem to have this quaint aversion to nudity and sexuality much like the puritans did. Also, if you want to split hairs about it, I dont believe 12/13 was ever considered "adult" in the sense you use that term. For females 12/13 was simply the age they could be married off. They still couldnt own property or handle finances. All they could do was subsistence labor and push out babies. For males they would marry much later and had similar responsibilities as "adults" do today.
That wall of text aside, you didn't answer my main point. Which is, why is it that people are so offended by the likeness of elins and not by the mass murder on which this game is based? Murder is widely regarded as the pinnacle of antisocial behavior. It seems to me that if you are offended by kids in hot pants then you should also be upset with this game's volume of murder that borders on the genocidal...
